If your #github project uses #stalebot you are being actively hostile to your community and should stop it.
I'm looking at you, #esphome, and the 4 (at least!) identical bugs indicating problems with esp_touch that were all closed by stalebot. Some of them were reproduced and started discussion and debugging before being closed.
Auto-closing is for #support requests, not #bug reports. Bugs don't magically disappear just because you ignore them.
@dis I would much rather have my bug stay open for years. That gives others validation that the problem has been seen before. It may not be a priority for the maintainers, but it’s still useful information.
If I go to the effort of filing a bug (a good one with logs, how to repro, etc) and a bot auto closes it, all I see is “we don’t care about your problem and go fuck yourself for even asking us to fix it”
They’ll never get a second bugrep, that’s for sure.
